This was cute. 3.5 stars. 

I loved the FMC and the children. It made me laugh out loud a couple times which I always appreciate. I didn’t adore this one as much as the first, but it was super fun to have a cameo from those characters in this one. 

I wish it would’ve been longer and a little more in-depth. The ending especially felt rushed and unsatisfying. It all resolved a little too quickly. 

I’ll be reading the next one. This is a quick, steamy, witty, mostly lighthearted (despite all of the doll funerals) regency romance.

5. A joy to read! I loved Alexandra and her logical, intelligent brain. Her being into astronomy was so fun to read about, and I loved her intellectual curiosity and her way with the girls. Her learning how to connect with and earn the trust of Chase’s wards was great. I loved how real both of the girls (and Alex’s own memories/trauma from childhood) were. I’m excited to read more in this series, though I’m not sure I’ll love any of the ladies in the friend group as much as the astute, stubborn, and resourceful Alex.

Like most Tessa Dare, this is funny, sweet and low on the angst. I would have liked a bit more groveling but that's just the kind of person I am.

4.5

I honestly loved so much about this story. Very mild spoilers below.

The two wards, Rosamund and Daisy, and the havoc they wreaked. (Especially the doll, Millicent, that Daisy pretends is sick with some new horrible disease every morning and they have to hold a doll funeral. This was such a fun character-revealing touch.) The relationship between Alex and Chase, and they way they worked together to care for Rosamund and Daisy even in the mist of figuring out their feelings for each other. The way Chase's backstory affected him. Alex's love of astronomy, and Chase's support of her pursuing her passion.

The one thing that bothered me: while I loved Alex's resilience in the face of Chase's insecurities, he ends up saying some awful and hurtful things to her, and she just...takes it, somehow knowing not to believe him. Part of me is like, good for you! You absolutely see through his bullshit! And most of me is like, under no circumstances should you allow this man to talk to you this way, especially after sharing such intimate moments with him, even if you can tell he's lying to himself.

Mary Jane Wells is, once again, just spectacular. I want to listen to her read historical romances for the rest of my life.
And Tessa Dare writes the most delightful banter.
